Wrong language code[edit]

"File:Malay_macrolanguage_sphere_(Q9237,_ms,_msa).svg" / "Malay sphere"[edit]

Hi, This might benefit from a rename (though it is accurate as-is), but "macrolanguage" is not a good solution. There's no such thing in language/linguistics: it's a bookkeeping term in Ethnologue and ISO for either of two contrary situations: (a) a single language that for political reasons they've divided up, or (b) several languages that for political reasons they've lumped together. It's not a coherent concept. E.g. the Chinese "macrolanguage" is a language family consisting of a hundred or so languages, while the Malay "macrolanguage" is a single language with two standard forms that go by different names. These are equivalent to claiming that Romance or Slavic is a "language", on the one hand, or that British, American and Australian are different languages on the other. Anyway, a change of name might be desirable, but I'm sure we can come up with something more accurate. Kwamikagami (talk) 06:31, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Kwamikagami It is a macrolanguage.

> we can come up with something more accurate

You did not come with anything more accurate. Taylor 49 (talk) 17:12, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to move the file, then it's up to you to come up with something more accurate. Come on, you're not a newbie, you know how this works.

"Macrolanguage" is an ISO bureaucratic term, not a linguistic one. There are no "macrolanguages" in the real world, only within the context of ISO. Since this is not an ISO topic, "macrolanguage" is not an acceptable term. "Malay" is, per multiple linguistic sources. I have supplied an accurate term. If you can come up with a better one, great, but it should be as accurate. Kwamikagami (talk) 17:49, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please take it to discussion for a better term. The fact that we had a nationalist denying that Indonesian is a standardized form of Malay should not cause us to bowdlerize Commons. Kwamikagami (talk) 17:52, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop being rude and please stop edit warring. There is no "single obvious Malay", and the name I suggest is indeed better. Taylor 49 (talk) 18:02, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not being rude, but you are being hypocritical if you demand others not edit-war when you're the one trying to move the file against consensus. Several people now have explained to you that your proposed name is not an improvement. Kwamikagami (talk) 08:39, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have never moved a file against consensus. Taylor 49 (talk) 23:19, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Malaysian Malay map[edit]

As far as I know, we don't have a map for this topic. The closest might be File:Malay language Spoken Area Map v1.png, where the green is Malaysian. Or you could just use a map of Malaysia.

File:Idioma malayo.png is something different. It's part of a series of maps with Spanish names, all I believe by the same author, that shows the native range of Malay. I won't vouch for its accuracy, but what it purports to show is where people (mostly Malays) have traditionally spoken Malay as their native language.

"Malayic" is something else again: it's the language family that includes Malay, but also Minangkabau, Iban, etc. Kwamikagami (talk) 00:31, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

> "where the green is Malaysian"

Indeed. Unfortunately the non-green colours are still visible making this to an image of the macrolanguage including Indonesian, not of Malaysian Malay. Taylor 49 (talk) 00:35, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect we have no map because it would be coterminous with Malaysia itself. Similarly, I don't know that we have a basic map of American English or Australian English, or Sweden Swedish. For any of those, we might use a map of the country. Kwamikagami (talk) 00:43, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Saya tidak mengerti pertanyaan Anda. Licensi gambar itu apa? Selain itu, gambar tersebur tidak menggambarkan kata yang disertakan, jadi tidak menambah guna apa-apa ke wikikamus. Taylor 49 (talk) 07:29, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
